Liu Shimei smiled faintly and took the loquat fruit offered by Huangfu Lingyao, putting it into her mouth, and remarked, “Delicious!”
Huangfu Lingyao looked proud.
He glanced at Huangfu He, his expression lacking the warmth he had shown Liu Shimei, and said indignantly, “Brother Crown Prince, didn’t you say you wanted these people to confess? Why haven’t you started yet?”
Everyone was speechless. The reason for the delay was because of his interference and jumping in to create trouble. Otherwise, the interrogations might have been over by now.

He was so devoted to his future wife!
Everyone was speechless.
Enough, I’ve had enough of this fool!
The Liang family was used to it and didn’t did not to Liu Shimei’s willingness to go along with it. Even Liang Yi’s teasing was just for fun.
Li Yan’er was delighted in her heart. She had not managed to get rid of Liu Shimei, but strangely enough, this outcome seemed acceptable! The noble Eldest Miss Liu was now entangled with such a fool and would have to spend the rest of her life with him.
Although she was happy in her heart, she did not dare to show it on her face in front of the Crown Prince. She was extremely obedient and gentle.
Huangfu He suppressed the impulse to throw Huangfu Lingyao out a thousand and one times and turned his attention to Guan Ruping and the others who were still kneeling in front of him. He said sternly, “1 don’t want to waste more words. Confess on your own. Start with this wretched maid!”
Why start with Huan’er?
Naturally, it was because Huan’er was the one who directly implicated Liu Shimai. She knelt on the ground, tears in her eyes, and confessed, “Report to Crown Prince, it was Miss Guan who threatened our Young Miss and forced her to have a conflict with Miss Liu Shimei. Our Young Miss had no choice but to come up with the plan to disgrace Miss Liu Shimei today.”
“We hadn’t thought of a way to humiliate Miss Liu Shimei before we boarded the ship. It was Miss Guan who sent a maid to hint at me. I understood her intentions–she wanted Miss Liu Shimai to fall into the water. She didn’t necessarily want her to drown, but being soaked in front of everyone would be embarrassing enough.”
“That’s why this servant pretended to trip over a rock and bumped into Eldest Young Miss Liu!”
“This servant knows her mistake, please punish me, Your Highness!”
When Huan’er said these words, Jin Wei’er did not say anything and only sobbed.

The truth seemed evident.
“Guan Ruping, do you have anything to say?” Huangfu He asked.
In consideration of her status as the daughter of a Ministry of Rites official, some face-saving was in order.
Of course, with such an upbringing, it was definitely impossible for Assistant Minister Guan to get the position of Minister.
In Liu Shimei’s words: this was just ridiculous!
Guan Ruping knew that her actions, fueled by anger, had only made things worse, and she felt utterly dejected.
In any case, her future would definitely be ruined and she would definitely be abandoned at home, so she said desperately, “I’m the mastermind, I admit it! But that was also because she, Liu Shimei, had gone too far!”
She raised her head and glared at Liu Shimei with hatred. “I only said a few words about her, speaking the truth, and yet they bore a grudge and made me embarrass myself in front of everyone! She has the audacity to act so improper and unvirtuous with King Dun Yu during the Lantern Festival. Shouldn’t she be criticized? If she fears being criticized, she shouldn’t have done those things in the first place!”
Unexpectedly, she had such courage!
These words were like a large stone thrown into a lake, instantly causing a splash of water!
